copying or transferring Extext expanders

I'm moving to a different MTSO and would like to copy all (probably 20,000) of the expanders/abbreviations I've created over the years. Hopefully, I can copy these on to a disk and transfer them to the my new MTSO, which utilizes Bayscribe. It wouldn't be much fun having to re-create these. Help, anyone?

ExText has it's own expander. It's not a separate purchase. Other expanders work fine with it,

Transferring SH
Is there any way to transfer SH to Autocorrect? I know you can transfer AutoCorrect to SH, but about the opposite? I am working for an institution on AS400 and they will not allow me to use SH, but they do have AutoCorrect. It seems ridiculous to have to rebuild my dictionary to AutoCorrect when already built on SH. Waste of time and energy doing this. Any suggestions greatly appreciated:)
Copying IT
Can anyone give me an idea on how to copy my Instant Text onto a flash drive so I can use it on another computer if I want to. If I leave my present job using the company computer and use my own computer I would hate to have to put all of my Expanders in over again. What a pain that would be!!
IT copying thanks
Amanda your help was appreciated. It worked out great!
Wow. I'd be transferring to a different school.
And discussing it with the school board and principal. Or finding an alternative program. Your son needs to be challenged, he's bored, and he's got way too many study halls. I really don't know if homeschooling is the option he needs, though. Maybe just a more structured environment with fewer problem kids. When there are already anxiety and depression issues, isolating one's self is not necessarily a good thing. We also can't teach our kids to "hide" from difficult situations, even though I'd like to live in a Utopic gated neighborhood where only caring people with morals lived. No jerks allowed.
I didn't read the rest of the responses because there were so many. We're considering private school for our middle son because the kids with bad attitudes are interfering with the learning process. He also has emotional issues. It all started when we had a sudden, unexpected death in the family. Yesterday, he was upset because the kids were picking on him about his hat and his music choice for a leadership program skit. One of the kids even came to our front door and was jeering at him, but the little monster didn't know I was sitting right in the kitchen until I stuck my head out and told him to bugger off. The private school has scholarships and monthly payment plans available.
transferring files
I do not have them in separate folders. I have all of them in the doctor's folder, from 2005 to the present. I was looking for something that I can just do with a few clicks.

I want to thank you for your help. It went much faster. BTW you don't have to use the explorer. You can just open up each folder and minimize so you can see both.
Transferring of files
Which is the best way to transfer digital files? Right now we have CyberSynch. I have purchased a new laptop and we are having to upgrade and will cost a little over $700.00 for three computers - thanks!

copying tapes
We did that for awhile because I was trying to help a friend to start out in the business and I also gave work to other people on the internet, but it is a lot of work. Thank God, my husband did most of the work, but thanks, but no thanks.
copying tapes
it is a lot of work and you lose the quality of the tape, if that is possible with some of the doctors.
Copying data
Can anybody say how to copy a large amount of data to a DVD without having to copy one page at a time. It's a training program that I'm not going to be able to finish before the time runs out. Since I paid for it, I want to be able to have it available to study on my own. Thanks.
Transferring autocorrect to new computer
Hi all,
I have a file of my autocorrects that was forwarded to me from the old computer I used. It's file extension is "acl", e.g., MSO1234.acl.
Can anyone coach me on how I can convert the acl to a text file (the format I believe it's supposed to be in) and then load it? I was directed to some file converter programs, but none of them worked.
I saw that someone had previously posted and gotten a reply to this question, but the answer given did not work for me.
TIA
Transferring files information...
Hi, I am looking to expand from my one-person business by adding a couple more people. The files I send will be accessed via WAV pedal. I know with the laws and such you aren't supposed to send files via email, but was wondering what the best route was to go with. Can anyone direct me to a reasonably priced (and dependable) FTP site or are there other ways this could be done besides using ftp sites? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Help re transferring digital file
Anyone know how to transfer a voice file from a Panasonic digital recorder on Voice Studio to Express Scribe? Any help would be much appreciated!
How do you plan on transferring the digital
One time when copying and pasting
from a previous report to get a sample of the PE, I noticed that the MT had put in spaces at the end of the sentence and throughout the whole next line instead of hitting enter twice. I never said anything, but I wondered if that MT would ever get caught for that. My company pays for spaces so I'm sure that can add up if he/she does that all the time.
Copying Word Autotext? Can anyone help?
Can anyone tell me how to copy my autocorrect entries? Word help says to make it into a template but don't know how to do that. I'd appreciate any help very much!
copying macros to other comp
this is for MS word. copy normal.dot both from template folder and office folder and paste it to new computer at the same respective places, i.e. copied from template would be pasted to template folder of new computer and so on.

Can someone tell me how to copy AutoCorrect and AutoText entries from one computer to another - I want to put them on my laptop. Thanks!
copying word into Emdat
You should never copy straight from word into Emdat....you should make you templates in notepad...you can even copy from Word to notepad and then into Emdat...or if you have something saved in Word, you can copy and paste it into you comment box on the Emdat screen and then cut it from there into your Emdat, but if you copy something from Word into Emdat, it will usually mess it up on the client's end (I leaned that the hardway).
I hate Emdat too...especially the spellchecker, and you just can't do as much with it as you can in word...I copy all my completed transcription into Word to double check it with the Word spellchecker to make sure it caught everything, which it usually doesn't.
I hope this is helpful and made sense, but it is a crapy plantform for transcriptionists, but it must be beneficial for the doctors end, otherwise, I'm not sure why it's even used!
Transferring files is easy with the Importer
You can easily transfer your AutoCorrect files using the Importer in Instant Text. In the Importer, you simply click on the AutoCorrect button, then IT will pull the AutoCorrect file directly from Word and instantly convert it into a glossary file. You can also import files from other programs as well.
To assist in the learning curve, Instant Text comes with a manual and free tech support to help get you started. It also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can try it out risk-free for one month.

Transferring my ShortHand expander to another computer... Help!
I have gotten permission from my company that I can transfer my ShortHand abbreviation Expander to their computer. I have saved everything to CD. I had to downloaded the new ShortHand Program to the new computer. Someone care to give me step-by-step process. Thanks! I must be doing something wrong, as when I try the file conversion, it says "source and destination cannot be the same." I was saving from the CD to the program on the ShortHand file Programs on the C drive
Transferring Express Scribe files
I would like to work from my laptop sometimes, but I am not sure how to transfer the audio files I downloaded from WinSCP already from my PC to the laptop. All I need to do is transfer the audio files. I know how to transfer files that are finished in Word back to my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Use a secure method of transferring files.
Encrypted email for delivery of completed documents works, but voice files may be too large for that method. A secure FTP site, either your own or through a commerical provider such as mydoconline.com or ftptogo.com, would work for both documents and voice files. You may need an FTP program, but there are lots of free ones out there, like filezilla.com, which is what I use.
Help with Copying and Printing Shorthand Dictionary
I am trying to copy and print my ShortHand Dictionary (the list of expanders) and cannot seem to find the way to do it. Can anybody help on this one. By the way, Happy National Transcription Week!
TIA.
Copying tapes to digital format
Has anyone ever attmpted to do this? I am getting a little overwhelmed with the amount of work and want to get some subcontractors and feel it would be easier to go digital rather than delivering the tapes, etc. Thanks for you help and opinions.
Also, back up your AutoText by copying Normal.dot SM
Search for normal.dot on your computer. Usually it is under Program Files (click my computer, click C: drive, click program files), Microsoft Office, click Templates and then you should see normal.dot. Right click it, click "copy" and then put on a disk so if you have to reinstall Word you have a copy of your normal.dot that has all the stuff you've saved (exams, etc.) so you won't have to go through setting them up again.
Searching for .acl (using the search program on the Start menu) will show you your AutoCorrect file. Copy this (right click, copy) and also put it on a disk.
Do these whenever you make significant additions or changes, probably about once a week. I'm using disks, but my son says that I could get a thumb drive or whatever, and I could add and delete things from it, since the space on the disk I am taking up saving these 2 files is miniscule.
Also, you should copy to disk all your documents (like samples, templates sent by your job, doctor lists--anything and everything you use to work.) Then if you have to install Word or install Word on a different computer, you can just replace the *acl on that computer and the normal.dot with your saved versions and have everything there, and also have all your templates and lists etc.
My computer crashed after deleting a TRIAL VERSION of Microsoft Office 2003. Without saved normal.dot and .acl, I'd have had to re-do all that work and all the doctor samples. You never know when an update or any old think will set off this Microsoft stuff. You can lose the stuff you need and so it is really good to have it saved on disk.
Moving or copying IT glossary to another computer
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently copied one of my IT glossaries to a different computer by this method using a CD ROM disk (a jump drive would also work):

Transferring Bayscribe Productivity Tool into Word
Does anyone know if it's possible to make the Bayscribe Productivity Tool work in Microsoft Word? Or at the very least, transfer the expansion list into Word's expander?
copying internet bookmarks from one computer to another. I want to switch computers, but I want to
copy all my bookmarks on the computer I use now to the computer I will be using. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
Transferring Auto Correct/Auto Text
I work in Word currently and have a large number of AC/AT entries. I am moving to a platform that has Instant Text or Shorthand. Is it possible to transfer these entries as a file somehow, or am I going to have to enter by hand? Also any comments welcome regarding the ease of use, etc of Instant Text versus Shorthand.
Thanks

What is S/H? Are we allowed to run these programs with DQS? If so, where do you purchase them? I would be more than happy to spend $120 if I could get my quota.
Thanks for the tips.
Expanders
I have worked in Meditech for about a year and a half and find that Shorthand does work just fine with it.
Expanders
Also, Abbreviate works well.
EXPANDERS
I keep seeing people say get an Expander you will get more lines. I currently just use what is provided on the DQS (the Ctrl+E function). Forgive my ignorance, but is this a separate program that you can use with DQS? If so, tell me what it is and where to get it, PLEASE. I am to the point of throwing my hands up and working at McDonald's. I am so frustrated. I normally typed close to 2,000 lines per shift before DQS, now I am getting no where near that. I have been on this for over a year. 
expanders
if i didn't have instant text, i'd be an unhappy person; i use it for probably 40% of my stuff; i also use autocorrect for words and small phrases.
expanders
The only Expander I have ever used is InstantText. I can add really long entries in there with bold, underline, etc..... you add the entry into InstantText and then there is a "formatting" button that you click on and it will keep the original formatting from when it was copied/cut and pasted from Word or your report. I really like InstantText.

Looking to get an Expander and curious which expander most use. TIA

I was very interested in trying to get Smartype but I think from what I am reading it is not compatible with Word Perfect which is my main account and then I use Microsoft Works Suite. I was wondering if there are any other Expanders out that could particularly be used with Word Perfect. I thought I remembered talk about Fast Type that could be downloaded here from MTStars but I'm not able to locate that and I don't know if it can be used with Word Perfect or not. Any suggestions or help??
Expanders
They should expand the text in whatever font your document is currently using.
Actually, I use auto correct specifically for those instances when the the font, formatting, and size cannot be changed...if that makes any sense.
Expanders. sm
How do you use such abbreviations without going into your autotext you already have running. I.E. I think if I tried to abbreviate Webster's words, It would clash with my medical words I have. Any suggestions appreciated.

Which is the best Expander program?
ROI of expanders
An Expander pays for itself within weeks as your productivity goes up and you will make more lines per day.
What you need to consider is which expander provides the best productivity features as well as the best comfort level for you.
Looking at expanders and
I have been working as an employee with the EXText system/Wordclient by Dictaphone. I really love the "esp" system that is part of this program as I find it very quick and easy to use.
Years ago I tried IT and didn't really care for it, but I don't know if I didn't become familiar enough with it.
I guess it comes down to an Expander that works with just hitting the spacebar and entering the shortcut I know I am getting with that abbreviation. Really mastering the shortcuts without having a list to choose from.
If anyone out there has any recommendations for a similar expander as the Dictaphone esps, I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks.

Hi Robbie,
I was told that Instant Text V Pro works well with Meditech. I just received the program yesterday and installed it, but haven't had a chance to see how well it works.
Expanders
I keep seeing everyone uses expanders. Those of you that use them are you on set accounts? I can't figure out how I would use them when I do a whole pool of about 20 different doctors. I have some things in my quick correct but I just find it easier to type it then to remember to turn on the correct as you type option and then remember the abbreviations...everyone keeps saying that you are more productive with the use of expanders...I guess my question is how do you incorporate this with different doctors?
expanders
My goodness - EVERY doctor uses the same words i.e.the patient, blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, etc. also "the" that' those" Every op report states the patient tolerated the procedure well, usually, and the patient was extubated. You make up Expanders for common english stuff plus most of the medicine names and dosage times amd acceptable abbreviations like LAD, MI, CAD, CHF, etc. and headings in a physical exam, and body parts/anatomy. Expanders increase your speed greatly plus cuts spell check time also. I currently work an account with 40+ docs on staff and I'm using the same expanders I used for my 200+ account.
